"Zorro, the birth of a legend." From Pierre Alary, a retelling of Zorro!

This 96-page graphic novel was written, illustrated, and colored by Pierre Alary!

From the publisher:

The year is 1849, and the future state of California is under the control of former soldiers from the Mexican-American War. Their leader, General Gomez, is busy buying up the locals' land for pennies on the dollar, so that he and his cronies can maximize their profits from the coming gold rush. But he and his men are dogged by a series of masked, would-be avengers all calling themselves Zorro. They are an almost laughable annoyance, simple peasants living out the fantasy of a local legend. Until one man shows up and starts picking off Gomez's men one by one, as stealthy as a fox. He brandishes a sword which he uses to carve the letter Z into his victims' cheeks'. Could this be the true Zorro?

Résumé:

Madrid, 1848. Don Vega, héritier d'une riche famille californienne, reçoit une lettre lui annonçant le décès de ses parents. L'auteur du courrier, le père Delgado, l'incite à rentrer « dans les plus brefs délais ».

À son retour, Don Vega découvre que le domaine familial est désormais géré par un ancien général, Gomez. Celui-ci s'appuie sur Borrow, une brute sadique et sans scrupules, pour mettre la Californie en coupe réglée en rachetant des terrains à bas prix afin de les revendre plus cher.

Des peons ont le courage de se révolter. Le visage couvert d'une cagoule, ils se réclament d'« el Zorro », un mythe populaire local. Le peuple les voit comme des héros. Don Vega décide de suivre leur exemple : il revêt un costume noir et est bien décidé à faire payer les spoliations commises envers sa famille. La légende de Zorro est en marche...

Le personnage de Zorro renaît de ses cendres dans cette relecture enthousiasmante d'un classique de la culture populaire, né en 1919 dans un roman de Johnston McCulley avant d'être immortalisé par le cinéma et la série télévisée de Walt Disney.
